Join these classes and watch their recordings with Pro Live or Masters Club.

In this course we're covering the lunge in its many forms, from short and punchy to extended and long. We'll even include lunging in different directions (offline and crossline) as well as touching on basic void lunges, where we twist our bodies sideways (girata) or downward (sbasso) to access new lines and avoid opponent attacks.

A note about warmup and physical readiness. I run a very short warmup at the beginning of class. Take what extra time you may need ahead of class to be able to move freely and sometimes quickly/explosively without risk of injury. Some of us (like me!) need more than a few minutes to warmup, while some require less.

Class Format
